San Francisco's WonderCon...the precum of SD ComiCon. BUT! It's still got weekend passes available. I want to go something fierce. Two of my favorite comics writers will be there: Brian Michael Bendis and the legendary J. Michael Straczynski. Not to mention, the Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno, Max Brooks (World War Z), Kurt Busiek (Astro City), Stan Lee, and some cockstain named Kevin Smith (Seriously, fucking stoked about Kevin Smith.).
I went to WonderCon in '02 right before Spider-Man hit theaters. It was one of those experiences you can't explain to someone that isn't a HUUUUGE nerd. Sure, regular folks might know that there's a Simpsons comic, but I had a conversation with the guy that actually MAKES them. He was hilarious. Aside from all the epic stuff I left with, the crowning achievement of my entire visit was getting to meet Romitas Jr. and Sr. and getting them both to sign my first edition Spider-Man: The Lost Years #0. A cover on which they share credit. Amazing time.
Fingers crossed that I can go...we should probably cross dicks too.
